3rd Annual Small Wind Power Conference [RE-wrenches]

    It's almost that time of year again....Mick Sagrillo asked that this
    be "spread far and wide"...so here 'tis!
    This is a great conference.....born at the MREF on a Sunday morning
    after the famous MREA breakfast (we won't mention the hangover
    part). It's been a great experience for me to be involved with the
    conception and growth of this event. Attendance doubles every year
    and the turbine manufacturers are definitely paying attention to
    what the installers have to say.

    It's definitely worth attending....hope to see a bunch of you there!
